ISKO is an international body with chapters in many different countries and regions. You will find out more about ISKO and its history on our About page. You normally join ISKO through a regional chapter, in our case ISKO SG. ISKO SG fees are paid annually, are valid for 12 months and can commence at any time. Your membership fee automatically makes you a member of ISKO worldwide, as well as a member of the ISKO SG regional chapter.

A proportion of your membership fee goes towards the international activities of ISKO and the access to the ISKO journal Knowledge Organization; the rest of your membership fee goes towards supporting the local and regional activities of ISKO.

ISKO SG has the following membership types:

Individual members - are eligible to discounts at ISKO events, and access to the Knowledge Organization journal; if over the age of 21, have the right to vote at General Meetings (including by proxy if you cannot attend in person).

Institutional members - have the right to a single vote through their nominated representative at General Meetings, have the right to membership discounts at ISKO SG events for a set number of full-time staff, and a single copy access to the Knowledge Organization journal.

Honorary members - individuals who are deemed to have contributed significantly to the field of knowledge organization, and may be elected by a General Meeting of ISKO SG after nomination by the Executive Committee. Honorary members may enjoy all the benefits of paid membership of ISKO SG except that they do not have the right to vote at General Meetings.

Affiliate members - members of other regional ISKO chapters or of ISKO. Affiliate members may enjoy the membership discounts at ISKO SG events, but do not have the right to vote at General Meetings of ISKO SG.

Annual fees for the different membership types are:

Individual members: SGD100

Institutional members: (1-5 nominees at events): SGD1,000

Institutional members: (6+ nominees at events): SGD1,500

Honorary members: not applicable

Affiliate members: fees are paid directly to ISKO or through another regional chapter
